(Doc. 15) 16 17 On December 1, 2016, Respondent filed an ex parte motion, requesting that the Court 18 order Petitioner to file a complete petition, that the scheduling order be suspended pending receipt 19 of an amended petition, and that a new schedule be ordered following submission of an amended 20 petition. In support of his motion, Respondent advised the court that the 24-page petition, as 21 filed, omitted hand-numbered pages 1, 9, 13, 15, and 21. 22 The Court has reviewed the petition as submitted to the Clerk to determine whether the 23 missing pages resulted from a scanning error by the Court and determined that the pages were 24 missing from the petition that Petitioner submitted to the Court for filing. As a result, the Court 25 will grant Respondent’s motion to permit Petitioner to submit an amended petition including all 26 pages. 27 /// 28 1 1 Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED: 2 1.
